from the year that keeps taking......may he travel safely.
RIP
Is the main man upstairs (God)....? Forming some kind of Super Band....Leon Russell, Leonard Cohen, David Bowie.....
His daughter Janine went to my undergrad college and lived right across the hall from my buddy at a place called Seven Nations Lodge in Geneseo, NY; that was how I first ever heard of Mose.
Lutyens said it well above" "the year that keeps on taking".
One of the coolest guys on the planet. From Tippo, Mississippi. Used to play a couple times a year just down the street from here at the recently departed Afterthought. Wrote some great lyrics.
Check this out. One of my favorites is appropriately named for the occasion: The Earth Wants You.
In the tradition of the great Southern writers, with a blues piano twist.
I love to see a Delta boy make good.
RIP.
